Her whole body wiggled under his tender kiss and she pressed her head against his mouth as her way of returning it. Skittering beside him in bounces and bounds she was beyond excited at the prospect of going into the market with him! Absolutely beside herself jumping back and forth with overwhelmed glee.
Best behavior! Best behavior! She trotted beside him as they passed the guards, she briefly scrunched her face and stuck her tongue out at the one who had refused her entry before before bounding a few steps ahead of her daddy. She was a princess! She gets to go where she wants!
The market was bustling as usual, but she had never SEEN so much in her eyes at once! Or HEARD! The sounds and the smells were so new and different and there was so much going on! Her heart sped up and her breathing grew shallow and quick as she kept seeing new and exciting things! Why was someone yelling about tumeric? What was that? Ohhhh shiny! So many sparkly things! She wove and dove around legs and stands and tables. There were books and trinkets and knives, and spices and dangly things, and tasty things and smelly things and noisy things! Her head was suddenly light and her paws were all tingly as she had been breathing too quickly while she dashed this way and that. Her eyes glazed shiny like glass and she started running. She couldn't get enough of the sensations in her eyes! She had to see more! She had to hear more! What was it like over here? What were they saying over here? Everything was so big! There were so many people!
She didn't know what was going on anymore! She was panting hard and she couldn't see her Daddy anymore! Oh no! She spun in a circle, but her eyes had stopped seeing anything in front of her! She wanted to yell out for her Daddy but suddenly her mouth didn't work at all! Everything was too loud! Too much! Too many colors and confusing voices! Panicked and overwhelmed she found a deep corner beside one of the quieter stalls and buried her head into the crevice to make everything stop. Everything needed to just stop so she could find her Daddy! She was gonna be in so much trouble! She'll never be able to come again! Ever! Daddy will be so disappointed!
